"Mmm-m-m! Rum Punch!" [Mary Poppins]

Hello everyone!  We're going to the temple this week!  We have a short preparation day today and we will finish on Friday.  A recent convert is going through the temple for the first time and we are so excited to go with her!  That will probably be the highlight of my week this week!  Wait . . . Mother's Day call!  Never mind.  That is going to be pretty amazing as well! :)  On to the happenings of the week:

We had a great meeting with our primary president!  She wants to get the kids involved in the 40-day fast that's coming up next month, and we were discussing how we might make that happen.  In the end we created these little "commissary bags."  More details to come later.

We took brownies to Bishop.  He loves brownies -- but his favorite part is the edges, so we had joked about eating the insides ourselves and giving him the edges one day.  Well, we ended up giving the insides to our ward mission leader's family instead.  His wife just had surgery and we're trying to help out any way we can!  We gave the edges of the brownies to Bishop and he was thrilled! :)

Met a potential investigator named J., from Africa.  He knows the Bible back to front and wants us to come back and teach him, but we said he needs to read the Book of Mormon first.  He agreed!  We will be going back this weekend.

Weeded our relief society president's yard for a few hours.  I am feeling it now, a few days later.  Haven't used those muscles in a while!


Stake conference!  Sat two rows behind the Zepedas.  They said they dropped P. off at the MTC last week!  Crazy times!  We had a nice chat; it was good to see them.  She wants to feed us but they aren't in our area.

We got a new stake president at stake conference; he is in our ward.  No worries . . . we now have the mission president AND the stake president in our ward!

Met a member referral named "Be"!  We talked with her and her husband N., and have a return appointment on Tuesday.  Super excited -- she has a lot of potential.  She has a strong faith in Jesus Christ and a lot of love in her heart!  I'll write more about her next week!
